Anyone know if it is okay to clip an air jacket lanyard onto the central ring of the R-stor? I cannot see why not. It is very similar attachment that goes under stirrup bars.

Sorry tried to put the photo on here of the attachment on hitair but can't see what I'm doing due to these stupid horsehage adverts that keep popping up. Will have a go when I'm at work on my laptop

I do this with my point 2 jacket, I've had a fall (which was also a horse fall) & it went off just fine; I still do it. I use both as a friend of mine died in a fall from a horse when walking home, the horse spooked forwards & she fell off the back, she was wearing a hat but not a body protector

Thanks. I’ve had a similar but less final second wake up call.

It was certainly a wake up call for me - I had taken the RS-tor off my saddle as I had a new horse who is a lot more chilled out than the horse I bought it for, I put it straight back on when my friend died; the poor girl was riding a quiet horse who jumped forward when something startled him, she fell off the back & was killed. They were just a couple of minutes from home, having been for a ride & were walking home.
